Pitch written video concepts and flow to Director for approval.

Collaborate with Production Manager on feasibility, timing, and scope.

•
Work with editors to ensure pacing, cliffhangers, and mid-video resets maintain engagement.

•
Track retention data and refine future frameworks based on performance signals.

What We're Looking For

•
3+ years experience as a producer, writer, or content strategist in high-performing digital content.

•
Demonstrated experience working in YouTube-first or creator-driven environments.

•
Strong understanding of multiplayer gaming formats (Minecraft, GTA Online, large lobbies).

•
Proven ability to structure unscripted content for audience engagement.

•
Excellent written communication and narrative clarity skills.

Preferred Skills

•
Deep familiarity with YouTube retention mechanics and algorithm signals.
